Guild Wars 2

My favourite awesome purple wells, the epic fireball and the magical auras got nerfed with the excuse of “reducing visual noise”. So what is the point of having this completely irrevenant information clutter my screen in PvE?

Map completion, mastery level number (3-digit, going over 100), “I bought HoT” icon, and now the PvP League marker. The names are overloaded with information both in world and in target mode, where the multiple icons are not even aligned and look like a total mess…

The PvP icon should not be displayed in PvE. To make people play PvE, one fixes matchmaking, splits PvE and PvP balance and makes new non-PvE maps, and not pushes more e-Sports information into our screens.

Looks like I’m not the only one wondering about it:

Remove PvP League Icon

PVP Divison Symbol on ALT hold

This new pvp rank beside your name is dumb

Why are pve titles in pvp? Why is legendary earned in pve aviliable in pvp? these are all clutters, also remove all pve skins while at it just make everyone standard model. smh.

/sarcasm

Because e-sports.

All icons, titles and everything unneccessary clutter should be toggleable.

I actually like such symbols to show, was someone achieved. But the placement of this one is … not exactly optimal.

ANet probably wants to advertise the existence of leagues to people that do PvE/WvW exclusively.

I’d be cool with that.

Make them separate clients with completely independent reward structures while they’re at it.

Absolutely. I agree with the OP. I’m not the slightest bit interested in competitive PvP, and I don’t care what rank someone has achieved in it. It’s just another piece of pointless visual clutter, and I cannot imagine that there will be more than a tiny minority of players going “Oooo…Must… Play!!!” as a result.

Toggleable, please.

you know, it actually used to be like this. pve skins were removed from PvP, you had to earn pvp-only skins.

Yes, it looks very out of place. Titles and mastery points do not get shown on the regular name plates, but pvp icon does?
